#1. Mibster :: There are however separate (pet) names that have been adopted by people who collect by individual manufacturers i.e. "Pelthead" "Akronaught" "Vacorian" etc.. #2. Sort however you wish but there are standard ways marbles are sorted, manufacturer, size, rarity etc... #3. Most use pistol cases w/ dimple foam inside for storage or transport to keep your mibs well separated & safe, display is a whole different story. Yes a taboo to have them clacking against each other, condition is everything and such transport or storage may cause damage. #4. Oh boy

Not Bifurcated, bifurcates have 2 different base colors the OP has a single type transparent base.

"Welcome to Marble Connection" Not far away from you here in Longview WA. You have some nice mibs, I see several different manufacturers, both vintage & newer, Vacor, Vitro, Akro, Peltier etc.... For I.D. purposes please represent each marble by around 4 pics. Top Bottom & sides w/ pics of any apparent seams, 4-5 mibs in each post. Slower I know but a much much more accurate I.D. for you. Again, "Welcome"

Can't wait Brother

"Welcome to Marble Connection" Not a slag a swirl, looks like it may be Heaton IMO Again, "Welcome"

"Welcome to Marble Connection Diana" A few more views of each marble i.e. top, bottom and a shot of any seams if present will make for a more accurate I.D. Again, "Welcome" P.S. nice mibs BTW

One of my favorite Alley's for this "West Virginia Wednesday"

Well fellow mibsters, looking forward to getting knocked out Kidney stones w/o any pain meds, hmm I don't know quite how to put it w/o saying something I shouldn't but *^$#$%^&* "ouch" I know I'll still be in pain when I awake from surgery & the anesthetic wears off but not nearly what I have been in since 3 AM this morning let alone since last Thursday. Needless to say you probably won't hear a peep from me until tomorrow. I wish you all well & I don't & wouldn't wish stones of any kind on anyone Say a prayer for me Brothers & Sisters 🙏 going to Nephrology next month to see if they can't put the cabosh on the way I'm hatching these things out every couple months, this ones a 7mm the last one in Feb was a centimeter caught in my bladder, that's a little bigger than a pea, December was I believe a 8 or 9mm 24/7 pain isn't good on the membrane

Dope !! That's what I meant to say Steph, not sure where my mind was @

Alot of contemporaries mimic old Germans in style. Usually there will be some initials or a name and date @ one pontil end so you know the maker. These both appear to be cane made rather than being made with a torch.
